know, we were very critical of that, because the bill could have been passed in the house and become law with the president's signature and we'd be in the rebuilding process for the jersey shore right now. but now with more and more delay, that rebuilding process, you know, is almost not halted but it's not moving forward quick enough because we want to be ready by memorial day, you know, jobs, the tourism season, the local economy, is very dependent on tourism. and the more we delay, then the boardwalks and the streets and other amenities are not going to be ready in time for the summer season. >> congressman, i share your frustration, as a new jersey resident. but you know as well as i do, there are concerns about what's been added onto this bill. i'm not saying that this is any different than how things have been done in the past or other aid bills that have gone through, but the complaints have come in very specifically that there have been a lot of things that have been slapped onto this bill. some of the things are $50 million for tree planting subsidies, $2 million for roof repair
